Lucan Sarsfield’s Club Notes 

 

Bereavement Notices 

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the untimely passing of Paul Lyons. Husband of Denise, Father of Daragh (Senior Hurling), Anna (Minor Camogie) and Ciara (U16 Ladies football). Paul has been heavily involved in the club over the years, managing the 2005 boys football team from the academy all the way up to minor, only finishing up last December and having much success along the way. On behalf of Lucan Sarsfields, we would like to offer our sincere condolences to all of Paul’s family and friends at this difficult time. Ar dheis dé go raibh a hanam dilís. 

It is with great sadness that we also inform you of the untimely passing of Derek Maher. Derek (also known as Marsy) was on the Senior Hurling team who brought the club to Senior level in 1999. On behalf of Lucan Sarsfields, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all of Derek's family and friends. Ar dhéis Dé go raibh a hanam dílís.
